"We don't want people to go hungry or miss another paycheck. But we *are* okay with them dying a little more slowly, without healthcare." This is so bleak.

All I know is that "Chuck Schumer has lost his primary race for his Senate seat" post notification is gonna hit like crack in 2028.

all they’ve done is proven yet again that you should *never* listen to some chin-stroking wise elder who lectures you about how *your* priorities are foolish and counterproductive while *their* priorities are strategic and wise. because in the end, *they* won’t even fight for *their own* priorities

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

Welcome to the Death Of Expertise Part 19745: Kristy, the job of the Leader in the Senate is to hold the caucus together, Schumer has demonstrated that not only is he a liar on matters of healthcare, he is incapable of delivering. Fuck off.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

fuck you loser

No Kings includes Angus

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

This is who Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are caving to—a president who gets loudly booed at Washington Commanders game.

DOING NOTHING IS DERELICT CHUCK

I truly don’t know how you look at the past week and THEN decide THIS is an appropriate — let alone the right — response.

can't wait to hear Senate Democrats talk about "fighting back" if they cave to Republicans again

I know quite a few comrades on the ACA exchange. I used to be on the exchange for years. A doubling or tripling of premium costs will be a death sentence for people who NEED HEALTH INSURANCE to survive. PERIOD. We've heard Democrats say as much for WEEKS. So what the hell??????

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Schumer going into "Mrs Bailey"'s room to thank her for helping him make a decision on the deal

Chuck Schumer remains a complete sentence.

Senate Democrats: I swear to god I will find the shittiest Getty photos of you and paste flyers all over Capitol Hill if you cave

I hope everyone who was insisting two days ago that Schumer was playing 10D chess is having a lovely Sunday

I will commit thousands of pro bono design hours to make sure every senate democrat that votes for this bill is unemployed

Not sure what's more embarrassing: admitting you're afraid of a sandwich or admitting you believe MAGA will revisit their promise to vote on anything other than blow jobs for billionaires.

Call your Senators. I told mine - @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social - they should resign if they vote for this, as should any cowardly Democrat who gives in at this point. Call. Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

imagine a senate dems that doesn't suck shit

If they give up on those ACA subsidies, they aren't ever going to get them back

I JUST WANTED TO ENJOY A LOVELY SUNDAY AFTERNOON YOU SENATE FUCKS

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

It’s 1:10 PM on a Sunday. I wish I was watching the Mariners play instead of calling Patty Murray at (202) 224-2621 and Maria Cantwell at (202) 224-3441 to tell them not to make any concessions on healthcare in order to open the government again.

I will commit thousands of pro bono design hours to make sure every senate democrat that votes for this bill is unemployed

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.

OK FINE CALL YOUR SENATORS AND STOP THEM FROM SUCKING (202) 224-3121

Angie Craig against too

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Also interesting how Sen candidates like McMorrow are reacting which is firmly against a deal

Richie Torres, House left lmao

goddamnit

I agree it would be an even bigger cave than Friday's cave AND ALSO don't believe the anonymous sources know what they're effing talking about

If Democrats get no concessions, then what they are doing is casting blame on themselves for the shutdown,

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Not sure this guy should be teaching Sunday school

once again, if I couldn't cite Wikipedia in high school, you can't cite Axios or Politico now
